Random Sample Imputation

Till now we have seen techniques that were either applicable for Numerical or Categorical variables but not both. So we would like to make you familiar with a new technique that can be easily used for both the Numerical & Categorical variables.   Random Sample Imputation is the technique that is widely used for both the Numerical and Categorical Variables. Do not confuse it with Arbitrary Value Imputation , may seems to be similar by name. In fact, it's totally different. When compared based on the principle used for imputation, it is more similar to Mean/Median/Mode Imputation techniques. This technique also preserves the statistical parameter of the original variable distribution, for the missing data just like Mean/Median / Mode Imputations . Now let's go ahead and have a look at the assumptions that we need to keep in mind, advantages and the limitations of this technique, post that we will be getting our hands dirty with some code.
